**Affirmed position.** Blockchain and Smart Contracts for Know Your Customer states that globally transmitted KYC information relies mostly on internal controls, producing slower and error-prone data management and governance. This independently corresponds to the slower and error-prone legacy-system component of Kaal's claim. The abstract does not quantify cost or demonstrate that blockchain performs better.

**Status.** affirmed  **Published.** 2026-08-08
